Lovely detail, David! My binoviewer never leaves my focuser ever again, not even for difficult deep-sky work. Apart from the immersion that not even an Ethos may give you, it makes observing much more relaxed, seeing becomes a little less of an issue and therefore you make out the details a lot easier. And your drawing shows just that. Excellent work!

I'm also taken by David ("Dweller")'s work and the similarity with yours, so without any doubt you're both very fine observers. My compliments!!!

David, just saw that same cm. More later after tear down snd some sleep. Yea my skies are one giant bino! Wanna hear more about yours. More later.

Edit: okay back...

David, what a shame you could not finish with the finer detail. Don't be like that proverbial golfer having the round of his life and finishing up the 18th during the thunderstorm of the century. Stay dry.

I would have loved to see what finer detail awaited you. I caught that darker concentration in the north, too. That's an amazing feat, that stuff is low contrast and very fleeting. The festooning at this CM is pretty nice, just as you show. There is one festoon that rolled around later that is the massive festoon of all massive festoons. Huge, dark blue, with a true arch.

That dark barge in the south is the trailing edge of the cloud with BA embedded in it. Best I could tell, the rest of the south was pretty bland at this CM. The north, however, put on a show.
